Kratos选择Rangeview开发涡轮发动机铸造部件

U.S. launches fresh strikes on Iran as fighting intensifies across Middle East
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. - Rangeview Inc. announced today it has been selected by Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (NASDAQ:KTOS) to develop cast components for turbine engine programs under a funded development effort.
Rangeview will develop and deliver cast superalloy hardware for Kratos’ turbine engine programs, according to a press release statement. The program addresses a component class the Department of Defense has identified as a gap in the domestic casting industrial base.
The El Segundo-based investment casting company will use its casting technology to produce complex geometries with cast superalloys. Russ Jones, Chief Engineer at Kratos, said the process enables complex geometries that previously required laser powder bed additive manufacturing.
Stacey Rock, President of Kratos’ Turbine Technologies Division, said the agreement represents a milestone as the company prepares for production of jet engines for drones and missiles.
The award expands Rangeview’s portfolio of funded programs across U.S. propulsion, defense, and energy customers. The announcement comes as engine manufacturers cite castings as a constraint on gas turbine engine production.
Rangeview combines robotics, software, and digital tooling to produce cast superalloy turbine components for aerospace, defense, and energy customers.
